The Story Behind elunoravex
We started in a share house kitchen in 2019, sketching budget spreadsheets on the back of grocery receipts. Six years later, we're helping thousands of Australians take control of their money.
But we're still the same people who believe budgeting shouldn't feel like punishment.
Why We Built This
Most budgeting tools felt like they were designed by accountants for accountants. Complicated categories. Guilt-inducing alerts. Zero room for being human.
We kept meeting people who earned decent money but still felt broke at the end of each month. Not because they were reckless, but because no one had shown them a practical way to track where everything went.
So we built something different. A tool that treats you like an adult who wants clarity, not lectures. Something you might actually use for more than three days.
Common Problems We Help Sort Out
These are the things people tell us when they first reach out. Maybe one sounds familiar.
The Subscription Creep
You're paying for streaming services you forgot you had. Gym memberships you don't use. Apps that auto-renewed months ago.
Our expense tracking shows everything in one place, sorted by frequency. People often find they're spending between $80 and $200 monthly on things they'd completely forgotten about.
The End-of-Month Surprise
Your account balance looks fine on the 15th. By the 28th, you're eating toast for dinner and wondering what happened.
We built daily spending snapshots that update as you go. No more guessing. You'll see exactly how much is actually available, not just what your bank balance says.
The Savings Black Hole
You want to save money. You really do. But somehow there's never anything left to put away when the month ends.
Instead of saving what's leftover, we help you set aside money first, then budget what remains. Sounds simple because it is. But it works better than any willpower-based approach.
The Category Confusion
Other budgeting apps give you forty-seven categories and expect you to remember which one covers coffee purchases. Spoiler: you won't.
We use eight main categories that cover everything normal humans spend money on. You can add custom ones if needed, but most people find they don't have to.
How We Approach Money Management
Our philosophy is pretty straightforward. Track what matters. Ignore what doesn't. Make adjustments when life changes. Repeat.
Set Your Foundation
Start by listing your actual income and fixed expenses. Not what you wish they were. What they actually are right now, today.
Track Without Judgment
Spend two weeks recording everything. We're not here to shame you about your coffee habit. We just want accurate data to work with.
Adjust and Refine
Look at the patterns. Find the leaks. Make small changes. Then see what actually sticks in your real life, not some theoretical perfect budget world.
